It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Well - To be technically correct, it is Steinlager und Sohne. Yes it is family owned and the rims are of the finest Sitka barrel staves. It has a very unique tapper action which seems to delight all who partake of this instrument.

Rich, I'm surprised that you are publicising this now. You personally advised me that it wouldn't be introduced until OctoberNAMM.

That's just a diversion by Sam! The reality is ... that our moderator "Rickster" is intent on purchasing these gems for his "Budding"Home-Brewed Piano Museum! When you hear them on Youtube playing "Marching Through Georgia" on dueling Steinlagers, you'll have your proof!

Wow, this thread is becoming intoxicating!

Actually, my late grandfather on my motherâ€™s side was a notorious moonshiner in these parts. Problem was, he drank about as much moonshine as he made. My late mother told me many stories of her fatherâ€™s moonshiner daysâ€¦ she said he used to sell the shine out of their house and when anyone would knock on the door, her little brothers would run and open the door, greet the visitor and politely ask if they wanted a shot or of pint.

My grandfather never played a piano that I am aware of, but he did play the guitar a little, was very handsome and charming to boot. Maybe that is why Iâ€™m good looking, talented and good with soldering and brazing copper tubing.

Actually, a friend of mine purchased an old 7' Steinlager from an auction site with the hopes of refurbishing it. It's in pretty decent working order, with hops growing out the top and the tap seems to be working quite well still. Really, I think all it needs is a bit of work on the finish.

I hope your friend does not add any of those "hops" to a batch of beer!
